Hi,I have a Lenovo ThinkPad L440, i tried many applications but none of them does show Fan RPM on Windows or other OSesi wanted to experiment on other operating systems as well so i was curious to know which Offset on ACPI - DSDT is the one that does calculate Fan RPM for Lenovo thinkpad L440

Hi,I have replaced CD-ROM by HDD Caddy with SSD (Samsung 850 EVO 250GB) in my Lenovo ThinkPad L440 (20ASS3GT0) as a second storage device (not one with the OS). When I'm trying to start the system, I'm getting a message "Configuration changes - restart the system." and the system reboots again and again. What is more, I can't access the BIOS any more - pressing F1 does not work. Updating to the newest version of BIOS (1.85) does not help. After removing HDD Caddy everything works fine. I have tried some of the configurations below: Removed the battery, pressed the power button for 10-15 sec. and rebooted with AC Adapter connected - still got message "Configuration changes - restart the system."Removed HDD from standard SATA port and connected it using HDD Caddy - cannot boot into the system. There is no message "Configuration changes...", HDD is detected but it is not on the list with bootable devices (there is only one option to boot over the LAN).HDD Caddy connected with no storage device - boot into the system with no problem.The problem is, that I need two storage devices - one for the OS and second one (using HDD caddy) for another data. Could anyone help me to solve that issue?

Hi L440problem! Welcome to our forums community. When was the last time it worked properly? Have you made any changes or any updates before the issue arise? Kindly check if the Airplane mode is turned off:--> click Settings --> Network & Internet --> Airplane mode. If the issue is the same, check the wireless driver under the device manager if there is an error or is it grayed out. If not, uninstall and restart the computer. Update us on how it goes.

Hi, I have a Lenovo L440 and when I turn on my laptop, its take more less 5/6 secs to turn on the screen and show me Thinkpad screen. I compared my laptop whith a same model in my work and I saw that the laptop in my work turn on faster than my laptop (2 secs). Can you tell me if 5/6 it is normal or how I can improve this? I have the last version of the BIOS and I buy a SSD and it is frustrating that the laptop take much time in turn on the screen when windows start very fast. Thanks!,Mati

Hello,I recently bought my school laptop from my school since I am graduating and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the screen to a more angle friendly screen, like an IPS panel also with higher resolution (FullHD). Is it possible and can any of you recommend a panel. The laptop in question is a Thinkpad L440 and the screen resolution is 1600x900.

Hello guys, can you tell me if it is normal this situation? When I connect the chager the display turn off for few seconds. It is the same situation when I disconnect the charger. Can you tell me if it is normal? I update the BIOS with the last version and I have the last version of the video card. Power plans are the same for both situations too.

Hello. I have Lenovo L440 laptop. As I remember BIOS is Phoenix. When I turn on my laptop, it makes 1-3-3-1 (1 signal, pause, 3 signals, pause, 3 signals, pause, 1 signal). I could find in Internet what those signals mean. I could find only 1-3-3. Tell me please, what is wrong with my laptop? Thank you.

A:Lenovo L440 makes 8 signals (1-3-3-1)

Hello and welcome,

From the (English) Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad L440, L540

One short beep, pause, three short beeps, pause, threemore short beeps, pause, and one short beep

Shut down the computer immediately. Ensure thatmemory modules are installed correctly. If they are, andyou still hear the beeps, have the computer serviced.

So what happens is when I start my laptop it beeps once and straight goes to lenovo diagnostic screen. I ran all the diagnostics, HDD, RAm etc and it all passed. I exit the aplication then the laptop restarts and again goes to Lenovo diagnostic screen on its own. Cant even access boot. When it says Press Enter to disrupt boot , even pressing enter does nothing. It straight goes to , Lenovo Diagnostic. Please help.

Hi, I started having weird after-wake up BSODs (bugcheck: 0x00000133) last week. I don't recall installing or udpating any software (other than Windows update) nor changing hardware configuration. The BSODs are not regular and don't happen after every wake up, just circa every second third. It seems that they're slightly more likely to happen more times in a row but other than that there doesn't seem to be any way to predict them. Once a BSOD happened during normal use and not immediately after wake up (was about 2 mins after wake up).The exact way they occur is following: Laptop gets waken up, is normally responsive for about 1-4 seconds, freezes, and after variying amount of time (sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes) fall into BSOD.Event viewer (system logs) doesn't show anything with the exception of some printer-related problems that have - however -timespamp indicating that they-re after-crash problems. There're no System logs with timestamp in between wake up and crash and the after-reboot ones doesn't provide any useful information.The laptop runs Windows 8.1 x64 with Ubuntu in dualboot which seems to be unaffected (can't say for sure, don't use it as much).Crash dump, minidump, and log files: http://1drv.ms/1Cn7RMd

Hi All, I have Thinkpad 440 and want to upgrade to ram to 16 gb(8x2). But seeing the installed ram I am unable to understand which type of ram it is DDR3 or DDR3L. After bit of googling, I came to know that installed ram is DDR3L.I am thinking of buying Kingston DDR3L 1600MHZ ram. Please help me in choosing the compatible ram. Thanks in advance. Abhishek

A:RAM upgrade for L440

All Haswell laptops must use DDR3L.

Your posted RAM should work. The official memory description for the L440 is:

Hi guys, how are you? Do you think that this SSD works in an L440 and I can use it with move the OS. http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-256GB-MTS400-Solid-TS256GMTS400/dp/B00KLTPUG4 Where I live I haven't got much options to buy.

A:L440 - M2 Sata

Short answer is yes. My L440 has a Transcend TS256GMTS400 I installed in the M.2 slot, and the software that is downloadable for it allows you to copy the O/S drive to the SSD and boot from it. My L440 goes from power on to logon in literally a few seconds and I still have the 512GB HDD available for things that don't need the blinding speed of the SSD.

I do quite often get blue screen (BSOD) on my L440. Often just when browsing (chrome or opera). Have reinstalled the computer, but after a while it began happening again. After some updates.

Hi, I have a L440 thainkpad type 20AT. I bought this laptop new with 8GB of RAm installed, the memory module is installed in the bottom slot on the machine - the slot furthest from the motherboard and I believe the part number is 03X6657. I am trying to upgrade to 16GB with the addition of another 8GB module and have bought and returned 8GB modules from Crucial and Kiningston, the modules they supplied did not work with the laptop. Both the supllied modules when installed in conjunction with the original caused the laptop not to boot up, but both worked when installed in the in the bottom slot without the original module present. I have run diagnostics on the laptop and checked for updates, makes no difference and no faults were found. my thoughts are that either the memory slot nearest the motherboard is faulty, or that the two moduls I bought were not fully compatible with the original memory module. If anyone has any advice I'll be very pleased to receive it.

About 2 mo ago I got a brand new (warehouse fugitive) L440. It had Win7 Pro 64bit. the first thing I did after starting it was to let it upgrade to Win 10. I'm a big fan and really like it, the 440, not so much. I like the speed and quality of the build, It does everything I want and does it exceptionally well, I just can't stand the keyboard. After reinstalling Win 10 in my T400 everything is finally working as it should and It has a far superior keyboard. I want to reset it to give to my brother. When I go to reset it I only get two options, and I don't really want to lose all the factory installed apps. I'm alson a little concerned that Windows Explorer is showing Windows 7_OS (C. It has all the app files. It's not shown as a reset option in Settings, tho. What's the best way to go here. I still hae just shy of 4 year s of warrantee on it and don't want to mess that up.

Hi all, I have a Thinkpad L440 with 4GB of RAM.I want to upgrade it and I have two questions:1. Is it OK to add 8GB (so I will have 12GB in total) or it would be better to add 4GB in order to have two similar SODIMMs?2. Are there any known incompatibilities for specific brands? I found two SODIMMs from Kingston (part numbers KVR16S11/8 and KVR16LS11/8) and one from Crucial (part number CT102464BF160B). All are clocked at 1600MHz. Thanks in advance,E. PS: I beleive that I can upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty, can't I?

Hi, There seems to be some problem detected for my original 16GB M.2 SSD, so I want to replace it with a new one. I bought the following one, which should be compatible https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBZH72I/ref=twister_B00KBZH7E6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 My question is, after I get it, should I just remove the original one and install the new one? Is there any other thing I should to complete the replacement? The OS is on my HDD, but I don't plan to move it to the new SSD. In this case, do I just need to remove the old one and install the new one? The reason why I ask is that the manual says: "Ensure that you partition the M.2 solid-state drive after installing it on the computer you are servicing. Otherwise, the M.2 solid-state drive will not function correctly." Thanks a lot!

Hello, My Thinkpad L440 has a problem of heat. When I use my CPU at 100%, it heats up to over 100 ° C and its frequency drops. So I can't fully use my CPU. I checked: the air vents are clean. Am I the only one with this problem ? Is there any solution ? Thank you in advance.

I have an L440 (20AS) that has an M.2 expansion slot. My laptop is having the stock 500GB HDD as the only storage installed as of now. I am thinking of installing an M.2 SSD and using that as the primary boot disk, while keeping my current HDD as it is for pure storage purpose. I have a few questions:1. Is it possible to have such configuration without any hiccups?2. If yes, which would be the best M.2 disk to buy? Any suggestions?3. Is there any way to transfer my current system from existing HDD without reinstalling Windows (I am on Windows 10) on the M.2 SSD? My current C: drive is 65GB (25GB free). All data except installed softwares are in D: drive which is 400GB. So if everything is OK, I will try to buy an M.2 SSD around 128GB and will have to transfer my current C: to that, if that's possible.

Hello finally I got my L440 and made RAM upgrade to 16GB and I also want it to have an SSD. After reading all the manuals and forum messages I think that it have a sutiable port for an mSATA SDD which will solve my problem in a great way without replacing anything.

My question is, my machine didn't come with an mSATA or WWAN option. While making the RAM upgrade I checked the ports and there is only one seems to be suitable for mSATA but since area is too small I couldn't be sure if it is the one. Can you please check the attachment and tell me if any mSATA will fit in that port? Or maybe it is not for mSATA and I should go with the traditional SSD solutions by replacing the disc?

I recently bought a used Thinkpad L440. This is my first Lenovo machine, so far I have used mostly HP Business Series computers. many people have suggested the Thinkpad to me.

A:thinkpad l440 cpu upgrade?

If you do it yourself it will certainly be cheaper, but the CPU is not considered customer-replaceable, so it may affect your warranty status. If you can do the replacement in a professional manner, so it doesn't look worked on, probably nobody will complain, as long as you keep the old part and replace it back before getting service. The FRU of the i7-4600m is 04X4049. You do not want to get one marked "ES" (engineering sample). The ES parts may not be final versions

Hi all, I'm an apprentice IT Technician and I have been left to my own devices to try and fix a few problems that are occuring with an L440 which indicates that the AC adapter is plugged in, but the battery isn't charging.

Hello everyone, about a month ago my lenovo laptop charger died so I ordered one straight away, it took a month to arrive and in the period I used the laptop a couple of times.

There was no light on top of the "i" and the laptop doesn't turn on, I've done the "30 second trick" already and other stuff bun none of them work. Please leave a suggestion and thanks.

03X6657 is the Lenovo part number. That corresponds to several manufacturers' part numbers off various brands.

If you are buying non-Lenovo-branded RAM, you need DDR3L (1.35v) 1600 mHz SODIMM. It might be described as PC3-12800. Avoid RAM labeled Value Ram. I always suggest checking return policy on RAM before buying. Everybody has their favorite brands. If I am buying RAM for myself, I like Corsair Vengeance. I have never had a failure or a compatibility problem.

A:L440 LCD backlight issue

Hi Shlapenka,

Welcome to Lenovo Community!

We are sorry to hear that LCD backlight is not working in L440 laptop.

Usually, these symptoms indicate a blown fuse on the motherboard. The issue comes up frequently when LED-backlight screens are broken. Lenovo does not do this type of repair (other than motherboard replacement).It can be done, but most places do not have the specialized equipment to diagnose and repair.

I would like to suggest you to visit the authorised Lenovo service centre for the hardware assistance.

So I got 2x8gb of RAM, my L440 came with 4. I took out the 4gb slot and put the first 8gb stick on there. My problem is that I can't put on the second RAM stick. The RAM pins dont slide in like the first one. I try to lightly push it in but It doesnt slide in the slot. Am I doing something wrong? Where exactly are the pins supposed to go?

A:L440/L540 second ram slot

Hello Mui, welcome to the community,

there are two slots, one on top of the other, on the L440. When inserting RAM you need to ensure that you initially position and insert the module at an angle of about 20° to the slot and then push it down into place. See p74 (pdf p80) of the Harware Maintenance Manual.

If needs require I'm sure you will loads of video tutorials on YouTube. And please don't forget to let us know how you got on.
